1. Set the rework station correctly. Install the hot air gun holder to the
left side of the station, and place the hot air gun onto the holder.
2. Install the required nozzle (Use of large-diameter nozzles is
recommended), and connect the station's power cord to an electrical
outlet.
3. Turn ON the power switch, and the temperature display shows "--- "to
indicate the hot air gun in standby mode. Set the desired temperature by
using the increase and decrease buttons, and then pick up the hot air gun.
The hot air gun will enter its standard operation status, and the hot air
gun's operation indicator light (the dot located at the bottom-right corner
of the temperature display) turns ON. The indicator stays ON when
station heating up, blinks rapidly when the temperature is stabilized and
turns OFF when station cooling. Adjust the air volume adjustment knob
to set the appropriate air volume, and begin operation once the
temperature has stabilized. The operation indicator blinks rapidly when
the temperature enters stabilization. At this point, the precision PID

program tracks and compensates the hot air gun's actual temperature
every millisecond. The hot air gun is now in the high-precision
thermostatic state.
4. When the operation is complete, place the hot air gun back to the
holder. Turn OFF the power switch (hot air), and the operation indicator
light of the hot air gun turns OFF. The hot air gun now enters cool air
mode to cool the heating element. When the temperature drops below
100°C/212°F, the hot air gun temperature display turns OFF. If the station
is not in use for an extended period, turn OFF the station's power switch
and DISCONNECT the station's power.
1. Connect the soldering iron handle to the station, and place the
soldering iron into the iron holder.
2. Turn ON the power switch, then turn ON the soldering station power
switch. The soldering station's heating element will begin heating
normally, and the station's operation indicator light (the dot located at the
Soldering Station

bottom-right corner of the soldering station's display) turns ON. The
indicator light stays ON when station heating, blinks rapidly when the
temperature is stabilized, turns OFF when station cooling. Begin with the
operation when the soldering station's operation indicator light blinks
rapidly to indicate temperature stabilization.
CAUTION: Upon the first use of the soldering iron, set the
temperature to 250°C/482°F. When the iron is just hot enough to
melt solder, coat the soldering iron tip with a layer of solder (the use
of rosin-core solder is recommended), then set the temperature to
your desired value.
3.When the operation is complete, use a damp sponge or brass wool ball
to clean the soldering iron tip. Tin the soldering iron tip with a new layer
of solder again, then put the soldering iron back to the holder, and turn
OFF the soldering station power switch. If the station is not in use for an
extended period, DISCONNECT the power cord.

Temperature discrepancies may occur due to the change in the
environment's temperature or due to the replacement of the heating
element and other components. You can correct the discrepancies
with this function. The temperature calibration function can help
improve work efficiency and prolong the lifespan of the soldering
iron.
1. Once the hot air (soldering station) reaches temperature stabilization,
press and hold both the hot air rework station (soldering station)
temperature increase and decrease buttons for approximately 2 seconds.
The display shows "CAL" while alternating the display value with the set
temperature.

2. Press the hot air (soldering station) temperature increase or decrease
button to enter the measured temperature value.
3. Press and hold both the hot air rework station(soldering station)
temperature increase and decrease buttons to confirm. The system
automatically calibrates the temperature and exits the calibration
interface.
This function allows the station to comply with user preferences in
different regions.
1. Press and hold the hot air rework station temperature increase and
soldering station temperature decrease buttons, then, turn ON the power
switch. The display will show indicator ‘SLP’.
2. Quickly press the hot air rework station temperature increase button 2
times, and the display will show indicator ‘tSc C’ to indicate the current
display mode is in Celsius. (If the display shows ‘tSc F’, that means the
station is in Fahrenheit display mode)

3. Press the soldering station temperature increase or decrease button to
select either the Celsius or Fahrenheit display mode. Once done, press the
hot air rework station temperature increase button to confirm setting and
exit the setting interface.
When the hot air gun stops putting out air abnormally during an operation,
the system will automatically cut off the power to the heating element.
This is to prevent the burn damages on the handle due to heat
accumulation from not putting air out. This function further improves the
safety factor of the product.

The station self-detects its operating status automatically. When the iron
is not in use and stayed static for longer than approximately 10 minutes,
the soldering iron will cool to 200°C/392° automatically to enter sleep
mode. This function prevents the iron tip from oxidizing effectively,
extends the lifespan of the soldering iron tip, and conserves energy.
1. Press and hold the hot air rework station temperature increase and the
soldering station temperature decrease buttons, then, turn ON the power
switch. The display will show value ‘SLP 010’ to indicate the sleep mode
timer set to 10 minutes.
2. Press the soldering station temperature increase or decrease button to
set the sleep mode timer. The sleep mode timer can be set to 0 or 10
minutes. When the timer value is set to 0, sleep mode is turned OFF.

1. Keep the air outlet clear and free of blockages at all times.
2. The installation of the hot air nozzles MUST be carried out ONLY
when the steel pipe and nozzles have cooled. Install the nozzle correctly.
DO NOT install the nozzle with brute force, pull the edge of the nozzle
with tweezers, or over-tighten the screws.
3. Select the appropriate nozzle based on your operation requirement
(temperatures may vary when using nozzles in different diameters). When
using nozzles smaller than the stock nozzles, you MUST use the
maximum fan speed with a relatively lower temperature setting.
Complete this operation in the shortest possible duration to prevent
damaging the hot air gun.
4. Keep a minimum distance of 2mm between the object and the hot air
gun’s air outlet.
5. DO NOT allow the hot air to come in direct contact with facial parts,
and beware of the danger of burn injuries. Upon the first use, the hot air
gun may emit white fumes, and the white fume will dissipate in a short

while.
NOTE:
The station's hot air gun and soldering iron’s handles use high-strength
stainless steel tubes. The station goes through 4 or more testing,
inspection, and calibration procedures before rolling off the assembly line.
The steel tube may exhibit light bronze color as a result of our quality
control efforts. It is normal to have a slightly bronzed steel tube when
using a brand-new station, rest assured for regular usage.
1. If a layer of oxidization forms on the surface of the soldering iron tip,
a misconception can be created that the soldering tip cannot heat up
properly to melt the solder and do the tinning. But the actual temperatures
of both the heating element and soldering tip are high. In such an instance,
please do not increase the temperature value confusedly but use a metal
wool ball to remove the oxidization following the steps below:
A. Set the temper atur e to 300°C (572°F).
B. Once the temperature stabilizes, gently r ub the soldering ir on tip
inside the metal wool ball.
C. When the oxidization is partially r emoved, continue applying
Soldering Station

18
solder onto the soldering iron tip while rubbing it until the tip is
completely coated with solder. If the tip is too sever ely oxidized
beyond cleaning, replace it with a new one.
2. DO NOT use metal files to remove the oxidization on the soldering
iron tip. If the soldering iron tip deforms or rusts, replace the tip with a
new tip.
3. DO NOT apply excessive force on the soldering iron tip when
soldering. Doing so will not only damage the tip but also not improve the
heat transfer.
4. When placing the soldering iron back in the holder to idle after a
high-temperature operation, adjust the temperature to 250°C (482°F) or
below for idling. Failure to do so, and leaving the soldering iron tip to
idle on a high-temperature setting will cause the accelerated aging of the
heating element, and shorten the lifespan of the heating element and tip.
5. After every operation, clean the soldering iron tip, then tin the tip with
a new layer of solder to prevent oxidization.

1. S-E –This is an indication that the station's sensor module is faulty.
You need to replace the heating element (the heating element and the
sensor modules). Or it may be that the soldering iron has not been
connected (Turn OFF the power, connect the soldering iron, then turn
ON the station again.)
2. F-1/F-2 –This is an indication that the hot air gun is in the zero-air
protection mode. The hot air gun and the hot air gun's power circuitry
require inspection in this instance.
3. When replacing the heating element, take note of the original
connecting order and colors of the wires which MUST NOT be connected
incorrectly.
4. SLP –This is an indication of sleep mode being active.
5. O-E –This is an indication that the hot air gun's heating element is
faulty. The replacement of the heating element (heating element & sensor
modules) is required.
